CMYK Screen Printing with Neil Kerr
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and key – aka black) is the 4 colour separation used across colour printing in many forms. Printmaker Neil Kerr will guide participants through the process of creating CMYK screenprinted works, from the conceiving of imagery through to the printing of an edition of original works.
This course will feature in-depth instruction on preparing photographic and digital imagery for creating a 4 layer, CMYK or full colour screenprint. Neil Kerr is an artist and musician who regularly uses screenprinting to produce limited edition graphics for vinyl sleeves, prints, posters and clothing for his own projects as well as special commissions.
The weekend course will focus on image processing and registration using Photoshop as well as screen set-up, preparation and printing. Participants will be taught how to create, expose and develop their imagery onto screens, experimenting with different approaches in order to produce their own set of prints to take home.
Aimed at those who have never screenprinted before or those wishing to brush up on their skills, the class will cover a wide range of possible applications with participants completing a series of works on paper or textiles.
Having worked as both a screenprinter and musician for many years, Neil has applied this printing practice to the printing of vinyl covers, tour memorabilia screenprints, t-shirts and much more. This weekend course will provide all those taking part with the skills to complete works of a high industry standard and is a fantastic opportunity to get creative and get printing.

Screen printing combining Cyanotype weekend with Neil Kerr
Screen printing combining Cyanotype - Weekend class with artist Neil Kerr - 04 & 05/03/23 - £120.00
Over the course of 2 days, artist Neil Kerr will take participants through the steps necessary to complete a stunning edition of high quality prints, combining both cyanotype and screenprinting practises.
On the first day, the class will learn how to create rich, emotive artworks using the unique cyanotype process of printmaking, which dates back to 1842. One of the oldest photographic printing processes in the history of photography, the distinctive feature of cyanotype prints are their shade of rich, deep prussian blue, which results from their exposure to ultraviolet light.
On day 2, participants will then utilize the distinctive and bold printmaking method of screenprinting to further enhance the artworks created, with each member taking home their own bespoke edition of 12 stunning works, printed onto high quality fine art paper.
This class is suitable for those with printing experience or those keen to try their hand at printmaking for the first time.
